I have been a proud Walmart shopper for years. Currently, I buy almost all of my groceries from Walmart and Sam's, as well as the majority of my household products. I spend $5-7k annually at Walmart, plus another $500 in ammunition. Last year, I bought a rifle at Walmart, and was planning to buy another this year.
It is my understanding that Walmart has stopped ordering ammunition to stock its stores. Given how popular this item is, and in general what a high-performing product segment firearms and ammunition have been for Walmart in recent years, it is hard to see this as anything but a capitulation to political pressure.
Across the country, firearm owners have been voting with their wallets against those who are proposing further restriction on firearm ownership. Will Walmart support its customers? Or will it allow politicians to win in back-room deals without even bringing their issues to the legislature?
How well do you know your customers? There are a lot of people in the USA who wouldn't be caught dead shopping at Walmart. Those are the people who are pushing for new restrictions on firearms and ammunition. WIll you support those people at the expense of your customers, or will you stand up for the people who put cash in your registers?
Choose wisely, and choose quickly. There are 80+ million gun owners in America, and a lot of them are Walmart shoppers... or at least they were, before you forgot who paid the bills.
